Description: This is a rare 1-sided acetate record that plays at 78 RPM. Dated January 5, 1947. The artist is SAM MINEO, a prominent 1940s-era pianist, who was once a member of The Hollywood Radio City Orchestra, and also a member of Buffalo NY's Shea's Buffalo City Orchestra and Stage Band - he even once co-wrote a song for Frank Sinatra, "Just Close Your Eyes". Acetate was pressed by National Broadcasting Company (the then-West Coast division of NBC). The announcer at the beginning announces that the recording is "coming from "Radio City in Hollywood" - which I think was a big TV and radio studio at that time. I believe this location was on the Corner of Sunset Blvd and Vine St. You will even hear the iconic three-note NBC "I.D." tones at the end of side one! (you've heard this at the end of million vintage Tv programs). Side one features 1 song. Side two is blank. The song selection on this disc, from what I can gather from the voice announcing the song, once acted as a regular segment of either a TV show or Radio Show called "Solo Spotlight". If you look at my other eBay listings, you will see other acetates with that same title, "Solo Spotlight". Side one features what are announced as two songs: "Without Love" and "You Remind Me Of Someone" (although when you play the side it plays as one continuous piano instrumental pice. Track runs approximately 5 minutes. Aside from just a bit of some light crackling sound here and there - disc looks pretty clean well for its age (it's 78 years old!) and plays just fine. No cracks. Disc is housed in a plain white sleeve. If you are a fan or collector of SAM MINEO and these kind of records in general, please see my other listings - I am selling LOTS and LOTS of similar acetates from the batch I got this item from (more Sam Mineo titles, and tons more similar acetates!!) *PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MANY MORE MUSIC COLLECTABLES!!*Thank you!
